Why I love using Google.doc

Why I love using Google.doc. I love using Google.doc because of what happened to me last semester. Last semester, I typed in  what I consider a great research paper in word document. I saved the work safely in my flash card. Unfortunately, I lost the flash card the day the paper was due before I even printed it. I was beyond frustrated as I had no time to reproduce what took possibly more than 12 hours of labor. Then, I explained my situation to my professor, and I was given a break. She allowed me to turn in my paper a week later with 5% reduction. I was happy. Immediately,  I went to work to reproduce what was once lost. Finally, I got it done , but not without a sweat. Thus, I wish I knew about Google.doc. It would have saved  me tremendous amount of  pain and frustration. This incident is the reason why I love cloud services.

The importance of  using cloud computing in the classroom. Cloud computing is, undoubtedly,  necessary in the classroom today. Cloud computing is necessary and important for many reasons  . First, cloud computing makes it possible to teach anywhere in the country. As a professor , for example, I am teaching students in New England , New york, California, Denver, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Orleans, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hamsphire, St louis, Buffallo, Tampa Bay, and many other places in the country without leaving my actual place of residence here in Palm Beach county. I am only able to do so much and teach such a diverse group of students because cloud computing makes it possible for me to be tremendously productive. Would I able to teach in New Mexico while living here in Florida ? No, I would  not be able to do so. Second, cloud computing is necessary and important because because it allows me to share my ideas with any student in the world instantly. For example, Marie is a current student who I am tutoring in Brazil. Twice a week, she emaisl her work to me to be graded. Thus, I email her the following day to provide feedback on her work. So far, it has been quite effective, it could not have been possible without cloud computing. thirty years ago, I would not have been able to provide such a valuable service anywhere around the world. Today, however, it is possible because of cloud computing.Third, cloud computing is necessary because it saves time and money. before cloud computing, I used to spend a tremendous amount of money on driving, on communication, and other aspects of my academic development. Now, I am able to accomplish so much more because I am able to use cloud computing.

What I like about my English III class. I like and enjoy the freedom that I am given weekly to write either about a chosen topic as well as a given topic. I like and appreciate the relax atmosphere that I get to work every day in class. I enjoy and appreciate the fact that my professor values my thoughts and ideas. I like the fact that my professor is usually in good spirit and ready to answer any question that is class related. I like being respected as an individual. I like my classmates. I simply like my English III class.

I evaluated Marie Boursiquot's document. It was, at first, somewhat ambigious. I made some minor corrections., along with couple verbal assessment to Marie's team. At the next evaluation, the paper was totally different. What was before a "D" paper  turned into an either "B" or "A" paper. It was somewhat fun working on someone else paper because it gave me a different perspective about writing.

My preference for the next topic is the importance of good nutrition for the overall health of all individual. First, Good nutrition keeps us healthy and strong. Second, good nutrition keeps our mind sharp and focus. Third, good nutrition keeps us vibrant and energetic. Fourth, good nutrition keeps our body from deteriorating. I prefer to write about this topic because I see too many people neglecting the importance of  eating healthy for a healthy and a vibrant life.

I watched last night debate. I could not help noticing how insincere both candidates were. After all, it was what I expected that it would be. Both candidates performed exceptionally well. They both seemed highly poised throughout the entire process. It was amazing how it all turned out. I wish both the best on this journey.

The cost of education is skyrocketing, it seems, yearly.Yet, family wages seems to remain the same. There are major concerns among parents about this dilemma. We all need to take an active role to fix this matter. It will not be fixed on its own. I know of many families who would like to send their children to college : they can not afford it. They are not in favor of racking up huge loans to pay for the rest of their working lives. A  solution is needed. We all need to work together to come up with one.

The presidential election

This year election has been on my mind for couple days. It has been on my mind because I want to be able to predict who will be the new president on january 2013. However, the election is and has been so close, there seems to be almost no way to predict who will come out. I have said and wrote on my blog before that governor Mitt Romney had a powerful and excellent debate. Yet, I believe that Mr. Obama will most likely come back stronger next time.

Obama and Romney

Obama and Romney are in a real fight. Romney recently had a great debate. Obama, I believe, will come back stonger in the next debate.based on everything that I have read and heard so far, I have reason to believe that if the election comes close that Obama will be the likely winner. However, This is no guarantee because I have seen and experienced the almost impossible before. All in all, I do wish both cadidates the absolute best on their great journey. Both have their stengths and weaknesses.
